Alyssa Carson (NASABlueberry1) wants to make space for women in STEM 🚀🪐✨
why more women aren't pursuing STEM careers: 1. the learning environment and social-belief system shape girls’ interests and motivation, 2. social biases affect women’s progress and career choices, 3. education systems and workforces aren’t making the necessary changes to accommodate female students, and 4. a lack of female mentors and role models., thanks in large part to the lack of female mentorship and role models.
I was lucky enough to have women in my life who showed me that working in a STEM field was an option and now I want to help make sure young women everywhere get this same opportunity. My biggest goal isn’t just to visit space and discover if life could be viable on other planets like Mars. It is also to inspire others through female representation in STEM fields. Society needs to stop steering girls toward more stereotypically “feminine” career paths.
Female-identifying humans everywhere, don’t listen to yesterday’s stereotypes. A scientist looks like a woman, a technologist looks like a woman, an engineer looks like a woman, and a mathematician looks like a woman. Once women and their pivotal accomplishments are recognized, even more women will feel empowered to pursue these industries. Because STEM is indeed for women, too.
Alyssa Carson, also known by the call sign Blueberry, is an American undergraduate college student whose goal is training as an astronaut and being selected for future human spaceflight to Mars. In 2013, she was recognized by NASA as the first to visit all 14 NASA Visitor Centers in the United States and sat on the NASA Mer 10 panel at age 12 discussing future missions to Mars in the 2030s.
